The website describes the new anime's story:

"e-Pulse," which is generated by human thoughts and emotions, was used as the energy source for the AI support device "Sapotama." From the shadows of this remarkable development, terrifying monsters appear. Digimon are living beings that evolve by consuming e-Pulse. Tomoro Tenma is drawn into an extraordinary experience after meeting Gekkomon, who suddenly appears from his Sapotama. While living together with Kyo Sawashiro and other members of the bounty hunting team "Glowing Dawn," Tomoro renews his resolve. What new future will be forged by humans and Digimon?

The cast members (including the previously announced Miyu Irino and Megumi Han) include:

Miyu Irino as Tomoro Tenma. 15 years old. Tends to take a critical look at everything. Influenced by his older brother, he often taps out rhythms with his drumsticks. He joins the Glowing Dawn for a certain purpose.

Megumi Han as Gekkomon. A Digimon born from Tomoro's Sapotama. Always hungry, satisfying its appetite is its top priority. Sticks its nose into everything and charges ahead without thinking about the consequences.
